kudos:1 | Talk about red lining "While the vast majority of AT&T U-Verse customers have VDSL, some customers do get fiber to the home. In a recent conversation with AT&T, the company told us that of the eighteen million homes that AT&T will pass (not necessarily serve) by the end of next year with the new service, approximately a million of those are FTTH. Usually we're talking relatively upscale developments."
Wow, talk about red lining.
Makes Verizon looks almost egalitarian.
Almost...

kudos:7 | What is it with the red lining nonsense?
AT&T isn't replacing existing copper connections. The fiber connections they are talking about are green field installations. That was part of the Lightspeed plan. New connections are fiber if possible. It isn't any more complex than that |

2 edits | A neighborhood or subdivision with house in the $150,000 to $300,000 range is a rich neighborhood by BBR standards. If you have a good enough job and credit to afford the $1100 - $2000 payments a month, the BBR trolls look at you with envy for being so "rich". It's so hard to afford a $150,000 house with a $50,000 a year salary(sarcasm).
Because AT&T or Verizon choose to wire a 200 home subdivision before a single home 5 miles out in the country, means they are "redlining"? Okay, I guess that only makes sense if you took Free Enterprise in school. It doesn't seem to be part of "common" sense anymore. |
